Chapin 8740A: 64-Ounce Black Poly Hand Shaker Spreader for Turf, Fertilizer, Grass Seed, Salt and Sand, Year-Round Use, Large Grip Handle with 3 Openings for Pellets and Particles

Makes it so easy to spread grass seeds and fertilizer on bare lawn spots. Has variable perforated circular holes to control volume. So pleased with my purchase!!!

This has been a big help in putting down seeds in empty spots throughout the yard

I picked up the Chapin hand shaker spreader to manage our lawn care and winter salting tasks, and it's been a solid addition to my gardening toolkit. The 64-ounce capacity holds enough product for small jobs without constant refilling, and the wide opening with an easy screw top makes adding seeds or salt super straightforward. What I love most is the three different opening sizes; I switch from fine grass seed to coarse ice melt without breaking a sweat. Its large grip handle is comfortable, fitting my hands well even when wearing gloves—definitely designed with user comfort in mind.On the downside, I did notice that it can feel a bit flimsy when fully loaded; gentle handling goes a long way here. Ultimately, it’s portable enough to toss in the car or store on a shelf, making it convenient for spontaneous yard work days. For the price, it’s hard to argue against its value—just be mindful of its durability when handling heavier products. Perfect for families wanting efficient lawn maintenance without spending a fortune!

If you need to spread small amounts of grass seed, fertilizer, Preen or even spread salt in the winter, this is the device you want. Very inexpensive and solidly made.

This shaker is perfect for the cedercide granules to sprinkle on the ground outdoors. The shaker is big, it is sturdy, it opens and closes easily and, so far, no materials have gotten stuck in the holes! I like!

Good for the money

Make sure to wear a pair of heavy duty gloves when using this shaker/spreader, otherwise the end of the handle will leave your palms with bruises.
